Why

Today I read a blog post by Jon Acuff about asking Why when posting something on a blog or Twitter or Facebook. Why am I posting this? Is it for selfish motivations or because I feel that I will be impacting the reader in ways outside of myself.

I hope that my blog is not a tool for self-gratification, and instead, one where I can share my thoughts on life, or whatever I am thinking about, that I feel are genuinely insightful and motivating.

I don't know if I will ever be able to have pure motivations for anything I do (even this post), but I really really think this is important to consider and ask yourself, not only on social networks, but even in everyday talk.

I think this is also something that I am bad at.
